"Vivo per lei" (English: I live for her) is the name of a 1996 song recorded as a duet by Italian artists Andrea Bocelli and Giorgia.
Song information
"Vivo per lei" is a tribute to the music; that is what is referred in the title to "lei" in Italian-language.
Actually this song was written by Mario Manzani (Music) and Giliath (lyrics) and performed by the group called O.R.O. (Manzani – Mengalli – Zelli) in 1995. The song won the “Disco per l’estate” edition of that year, but it had no particular achievement. During the same year, the lyrics of the song was rewritten by Gatto Panceri and it was relaunched thanks to the duet between Andrea Bocelli and Giorgia. The new lyrics are characterized by the fact that “lei” of the title is actually music, whereas the original was a love song for a girl.[citation needed]
Chart performances
The song has been sung in several countries with a female partner. The original Italian female partner is Giorgia, as mentioned above.
The song has been number-one hits in many countries like US, UK, Spain, many countries in South America, France and others.
To date, it is the second best-selling single for Bocelli (the first is "Con te partirò").
